I have cleaned the coils, fan is working and the compressor is running. Would appreciate any help. I have the repair parts list for the refrigerator. Thank you.

Is there any air flowing to the refrigerator area from the freezer coils? Your model number didn't come up right. Is it an over and under, with the freezer on top?

I have not checked the fan that is located in the freezer (I assume that is the evaporator fan). I note feel any air flow to the refrigerator. I have not noticed any ice build up, but did notice that there is condensation in the refrigerator (top). The freezer is located on top. Thank you.

When the refrigerator is running, the fan should be running too. It blows the cold air from the freezer through a system of ducts to the fresh food section. No aitflow, no cooling.
